Discover the convenience of converting energy from therms (th) to gigajoules (GJ) with our precise Therm to Gigajoule Converter, crafted by Newtum for accuracy and simplicity.
A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in the heating industry and is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs). It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The term 'therm' is derived from the Greek word 'thermos', meaning heat.
Definition of GigajouleA gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). One gigajoule equals one billion joules, which is a measure of work or energy. A joule is the work done when applying a force of one newton over a distance of one meter. The gigajoule is often used to express large quantities of energy, such as in industrial applications or when measuring the energy content of fuels.
| Therm (th) | Gigajoule (GJ) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 th | 0.001055 GJ |
| 0.1 th | 0.01055 GJ |
| 0.5 th | 0.05275 GJ |
| 1 th | 0.1055 GJ |
| 5 th | 0.5275 GJ |
| 10 th | 1.055 GJ |
| 50 th | 5.275 GJ |
| 100 th | 10.55 GJ |
| 500 th | 52.75 GJ |
| 1000 th | 105.5 GJ |
1 th = 0.1055 GJ
1 GJ = 9.4782 th
Example 1:
Convert 10 th to GJ:
10 th = 10 × 0.1055 GJ = 1.055 GJ
Example 2:
Convert 25 th to GJ:
25 th = 25 × 0.1055 GJ = 2.6375 GJ
The Therm to Gigajoule Converter is a tool that has simplified the conversion between two different units of energy. The need for such a conversion has grown with the global dialogue on energy consumption and efficiency. Historically, energy units varied regionally, but with the advancement of technology, standardizing energy units became essential for trade, engineering, and scientific research.
Understanding the practical uses of the Therm to Gigajoule Converter can provide insights into energy management and efficiency.
Example 1: To convert 2 therms to gigajoules:
2 th = 2 × 0.1055 GJ = 0.211 GJ
Example 2: To convert 150 therms to gigajoules:
150 th = 150 × 0.1055 GJ = 15.825 GJ
